Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomOur bedroom faces the main road so we can hear the cars passing by. We stayed on a weekend night so there were a lot of people in the restaurant/pub. Noise was bearable.
Lovely room although a bit small. I love the wallpaper, bathroom is really clean and modern but the rainfall shower not that strong, the water pressure is weak. Location is handy because we went to Icarus Falconry and it's only a few miles down the road, There was a live band on the Friday night we stayed hence we can hear the caterwauling and the chatter of people downstairs. Breakfast is superb!

United KingdomNot keen on the pillows, but this is a personal preference.
Lovely old traditional thatched roof pup. Food was excellent, staff were very attentive. It is under new ownership and is being gradually and nicely renovated. Large beer garden and nice views in an idyllic small village. Rooms are clean, showers have good water pressure, beds are comfy. We will return should we be in the area. Great to see a traditional old English pub surviving.

United KingdomI had requested a quiet room. Just after 6am there was a loud noise of a large number of bottles being tipped into the bins. I'm an earlier riser so was already awake, but it could have woken others. Possibly the rooms on the other side of the hotel wouldn't hear this?
Extremely friendly staff. Lovely comfortable room. I had both dinner and breakfast and the food was good quality with generous portion sizes.

United Kingdomnothing to report, all went perfect..
From our first arrival we just knew this was a lovely place, it has loads of character but modern utilities which were clean and very tidy. The menu was to die for, Osam was the perfect host, nothing was too much trouble for him. All credit to the brilliant chefs employed there, the chicken curry was a suprise and the best i have ever tasted, the kombucha was a total new experience for me, beautiful. Tuesday was pie night, boy the pie was absolutely perfect and a really big portion too, a total suprise to me, the wife had Battered Cod, but to be fair it could double as a whale, she just couldn't finish it.

SwitzerlandOut of two weeks of travelling through England, this was by far my favourite accommodation. The rooms are wonderful, comfortable, cute and clean, the staff were lovely and the breakfast extremely good! Don‘t miss out on their dinner & drinks, which were both fantastic as well. There are a lot of parking spaces as well.
